演講簡介：
In this talk, I present two analyses from my book project, which examines how states regulate the body in the name of promoting population health. First, organ donation for transplantation challenges preexisting norms around bodily ownership and integrity, and the sequences of legalizing this biotechnology offer an opportunity to explore the patterns of value negotiations across the globe. My sequence analysis illustrates that power struggles between interest groups—within and beyond medical fields—shape the timing and sequences of transplant-related policymaking. The temporal sequences, departing from logical ones, exemplify frustrations in the exercise of biopower. I also utilize qualitative methods to compare the regulations over living kidney donation and gamete donation in Singapore and Taiwan. While sharing cultural norms challenging bodily giving, the two governments demonstrate a contrastive pattern in regulating bodily giving—creating legal markets for one body part while prohibiting such possibilities for the other. My study shows the institutional roots of incoherent agendas within healthcare regimes that enable the selection of cultural narratives during policymaking.

講者簡介：
I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook. I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Polonsky Academy for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. My book project, “The Many Hands of the Healthcare State,” examines bodily donation at the nexus of the institutionalization of care, political culture, and gift-giving. My works from this project received the 2022 Theda Skocpol Best Dissertation Award in the section on comparative-historical sociology and the 2021 Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award in the section on altruism, morality, and social solidarity of the American Sociological Association.
Additionally, I have published a set of studies on how traditional authority structures shape democratization and financialization across indigenous peoples in Taiwan in Sociology of Development, the Revue française de sociologie, and other venues.
